: I'm 22 and a prima ballerina in a classic ballet company. Since i'm mestec, my thighs and buttocks dont fit exactly to the idea of a classic ballet performer but all suggestions are that i must reduce weight. How can I overcome this problem.I'afraid exercise and diet wouldnt be enough unless properly conducted.
The usual requirements for weight of a ballerina are usually that which are unrealistically thin for most people. I would consult a physician to ensure that you can maintain a good weight and stay healthy.
